How partition law protects businesses from ownership disputes

Partition law offers a court‑supervised mechanism letting business partners exit disputes over co‑owned business real estate through partition in kind or court-ordered sale.
Business partners locked in deadlock often turn to partition when they cannot secure co‑owners' consent for joint management and sale decisions, prompting courts to provide flexible remedies.
A co‑owner can petition the court for partition, which may appoint an independent appraiser and order sale if the property cannot be physically divided, while your partners can buy out a share to avoid a public sale.
A partition by sale converts commercial property into net proceeds, and the court divides these by ownership while crediting partners for unequal contributions to ensure fairness.
A well‑crafted partnership or operating agreement is the best defense against unwanted partition actions, and Underwood Law, a California firm, produced guidance reviewed by Stacker.
